The Surface Mapping dialog box illustrated in Figure 9.5.1. enables the user to map original die face to the compensated tool mesh after the SCP of desired part is obtained.
Figure 9.5.1 Surface Mapping dialog box
ORIGINAL SURFACE
Allow the user to select the original die surfaces for mapping operation.
ORIGINAL MESH
Allow the user to select the original tool mesh which is generated using original die surfaces.
MORPHED MESH
Allow the user to select the tool mesh generated from springback compensation.
KEEP U-V LINE DIRECTION
Allow the user to keep the U-V line direction of the mapped surface same as the original surface. This option is toggled on by default.
PLOT DEVIATION
Allow the user to display the contour of distance deviation between the mesh node and mapped surfaces, as illustrated in Figure 9.5.2.
Figure 9.5.2 Contour Plot for Deviation between Mapped Surface and Mesh Node
DEVIATION RANGE
Set the deviation range. The default range is from 0 to 0.1. If the maximum value displayed in the plot is significant, the user can adjust the color display range.
PLOT
Select this option to display the deviation contour. The node with maximum deviation is marked with *. The node with minimum deviation is marked with 0.
SHOW VALUE
This function allows the user to select a node on the screen by mouse cursor, following by displaying the deviation for this node on the display screen. This function enables the user to easily measure deviation for each node as illustrated in Figure 9.5.3.
